    Yeah, like that is a given. As I already stated, Steam is involved in price fixing. They have engaged in anti competitive behavior thus showing their monopoly power.

    It is already conclusive they are a monopoly. If you can provide proof they are not then I will entertain you.

      That is the opposite to how this works. I can’t just say “It is already conclusive that you are a prostitute. If you can provide proof that your are not I will entertain you.”

        Yes, I can say that based upon the available evidence. I have studied enough about monopolies that I feel completely comfortable with saying Steam is a monopoly. I totally get you are in denial. That is okay.

        I find it strange you would bring prostitution into this as an example. But, if you knew I accepted money for sex like we know Steam has engaged in anti competitive practice while controlling the majority of the market then I guess it would be safe to call me one. Cheers!
